This forum has so many gifted members with musical knowledge.

What I'd like you all to do, is select a line or two from a song that you like, just post the line and let the rest of us guess the song, but if we can't guess it within 24 hours, then you post the song and youtube video if you can.

Here's a few lines from a song I like.....

When you dance down the street
With a cloud at your feet, you're in love

and this is the song.

Dean Martin - That's Amore (Lyric Video)​

Here's another.....

Our wistful little star
Was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I

and this is the song.

The Shadow of Your Smile - Andy Williams lyrics​

Now it's your turn, come on, surprise me.

 

[CaliS]

"Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
Oh, it went by like dusk to dawn"

Dream On - Aerosmith

 

[horseless carriage]

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of:

[Feelslikefar]

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to...

 

[Della]

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of:

I Will Always Love You
--Dolly Parton

 

[Della]

"I look in the mirror with total surprise
At the hair on my shoulders and the age in my eyes."

 

[That Lady in PA]

You can check out anytime you like,
But you can never leave.

 

[That Lady in PA]

Streets and shoes, avenues
Leather writers, selling news
The monk bought lunch

 

[That Lady in PA]

The man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

 

[Sunkist]

You can check out anytime you like,
But you can never leave.

"Welcome to the Hotel California.."

(the only lyrics so far that I recognized!)

 

[Feelslikefar]

I've listened to preachers, I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role...

 

[BeefStu]

Garth Brooks The Dance.
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go.
Our lives are better left to chance. I could have missed the pain. But I'd have missed the dance.

 

[IrishEyes]

I sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now, I'll wait dear
Sometimes I get so tense but I can't speed up the time
But you know love there's one more thing to consider

 

[IrishEyes]

"I look in the mirror with total surprise
At the hair on my shoulders and the age in my eyes."

 

[Aunt Bea]

“And in the hard light of an angry sun
No one remembers what was said or done
Tender are the words they choose
You win, I win, we lose”
- Jackson Browne, Tender is the Night

 

[IrishEyes]

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to...

 

[Lara]

Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of rhythm
Couplets out of rhyme
In syncopated time

 

[Dr.Colosso]

That's fun! We had a radio program in the 70s called 'Guess a song or not'.


Hey hey hey hey
All the children on the street
They come running out their front door
Running out their back door
Flying on their feet
They said Mama oh Papa oh
See what I have seen

 

[Lara]

What a dream I had
Pressed in organdy
Clothed in crinoline of smoky Burgundy
Softer than the rain

 

[That Lady in PA]

What I dream I had
Pressed in organdy
Clothed in crinoline of smoky Burgundy
Softer than the rain

A stunning, beautiful song!

It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place except you and me
So, set 'em up, Joe, I got a little story I think you should know
We're drinkin', my friend, to the end of a brief episode...

(Hint: Think 'Golden Age' of Las Vegas...)

 

[Sunkist]

Unfamiliar with that.. but there's this:

Fair enough, here goes:

"Do-do-do-do, do-da-da-da
Is all I want to say to you"
